93 civic cranks but won't start

I've got a 1993 Honda Civic, started just fine yesterday and drove it to go get food. And this morning it would not start. It will crank but won't start. A few times it would run for about 3 seconds but wouldn't rev up and then stall and die and then back to just cranking when turning the key. I can hear the fuel pump prime when I turn the car on.

Check the mechanical timing. Any CEL codes?

Good way to learn troubleshooting. CEL also.

Just went through this and just posted on aftermath.

I had had no codes, the light stayed solid when checking

Wow lol, poke my head in the Civic section to see what's new... there's literally a "my car cranks but won't start" thread on top....

IDK how you haven't blown your brains out yet Ron.
